Houseplant Appreciation Day

January 10, 2023

Hi Hamama Friends!

Nowadays, our plants tend to feel more like pets, not only because of their need for attention and care but also because they provide us with a lot more than just decorum. So today, and every January 10th, we want to take the time to appreciate our little green friends! Plants not only add a sense of comfort and zen to any space, they can also reduce unwanted noise and provide cleaner air by creating oxygen and removing carbon dioxide in whichever area of the house they are growing in. Apart from physical benefits, the mental benefits are pretty incredible! Did you know that plants can help increase your work performance and creativity? Now that’s pretty powerful!

Here are some ways that you can show your appreciation for houseplants:

Purchase an indoor plant! Many local groceries and greenhouses have great deals and affordable pricing for indoor plants for those that want to start their growing journey.
Visit a local conservatory! They are so beautiful and a great place to walk around and take in the benefits of plants.
Take a plant class! You can support a local organization that specializes in growing plants and, bonus, learn more about your favorite plants!
Some say that plants love music! So sing to your house plants or play your favorite playlist. Here is a special playlist to get you started.

If you love the idea of a houseplant, but don’t want all the responsibilities of tending to one. You can start with a microgreen garden! Check out our blog post on How to Become an Indoor Hydroponic Microgreen Master Gardener in 3 Easy Steps.

Our Hamama Grow Kit is an excellent place to start as the kits require almost no maintenance, are mess-free and Hamama’s Grow Coaches are always available to answer any questions you may have along the way.

Growing your own microgreens will provide you with a variety of super nutritious microgreens that also happen to look adorable in your home (especially with our bamboo fame). Watching the microgreens grow from seeds to plants in a matter of days is an exciting and satisfying experience for all! Plus, they taste amazing.
